Weekly docetaxel treatment was found to induce the up-regulation of a number of genes involved in drug resistance, including TUBB3 (i.e. the gene encoding β-III tubulin) and ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters ABCB1 and ABCC10, in xenografted ovarian tumours whereas continuous docetaxel treatment did not [19]. The gene discussed is ABCB1; the disease is ovarian neoplasm.
